House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle sought to add language to make it clear that abortion clinics would be subject to inspections. He noted the bill specifically singles out podiatrists and dentists as falling under the proposed regulations.

"We're here for a reason and it's not podiatry, it's not dentistry," said Lavelle, R-Sharpley "It's because of the lack of oversight [of abortion clinics]."

Variousnewsoutlets are reporting that Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown opposes the defunding of Planned Parenthood. From the part of his statement that is quoted, it's difficult to tell if he opposes defunding Planned Parenthood or is opposed to completely cutting Title X funding. He's already been praised by NARAL.
